“It’s unbelievable, but it’s a fact: we’re being threatened again with the German Leopard tank,” Putin said yesterday at a ceremony in Volgograd (Stalingrad).
As in the Second World War, German weapons are being used to fight against Russia on Ukrainian soil, said the 70-year-old. Russia will defend itself this time as it did against the German troops, Putin said, referring to the war against Ukraine, which he started himself almost a year ago: “We have something we can answer with. And with the use of tank technology the matter is not settled. Everyone should understand that,” said the leader of the nuclear power.
On the occasion of the anniversary, some place-name signs in Volgograd were exchanged and the city was temporarily renamed Stalingrad. A bust of Stalin was also unveiled.
